Passion for Fashion. My Tribute to Sarah Jessica Parker.

All right. Old news. Who doesn’t miss our favorite Sex and the City lady? But what would my Passion for Fashion page be without Sarah Jessica Parker? The fashionista kicked off her series of stunning every day and red carpet ensembles with a no-holds-barred show-stoppers! I owe a tribute to her for inspiring me forever.

Best known for her role as the always-fashionable New Yorker Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City,” Sarah Jessica Parker’s style has always been at the forefront of her career.As Manhattan sex-columnist Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah took the fashion world by storm both off and on the screen. Her innovative and inventive style grasped magazine pages everywhere. Even while the show is no longer on air, Sarah Jessica Parker continues to identify the cutting edge fashion world with her fresh looks and show stopping outfits. Love or hate her daring outfits, the girl’s certainly got style. I’d like to know what you think of Mrs. Sarah Jessica Parker (style? acting?).

I know it’s old now, but I still love SATC! Love or hate some of her outfits, SJP is not afraid to try some daring looks! Personally I wouldn’t be that daring but everybody’s got their own taste and preferences! Thanks for posting this tribute 🙂 x

I was a big fan of SATC 🙂
Vogue’s Anna Wintour put it in 2010, “Parker is for me both a mythic American—the Midwestern girl who came to Broadway to play Annie and became a star—and a down-to-earth citizen of the world.”
Let me share this on my blog pls 🙂

I’m not a fashionista by any means (I wouldn’t know couture from a hole in the ground) but, oh, how I love Sex & The City! I have the entire collection, both movies, and will watch them repeatedly regardless of how many times I’ve already watched them (or how bad the 2nd movie was). 🙂

Love.
I love her movies, actually. Such a different side from the “Carrie” character. But beyond that she has a really awesome backstory — raised by hyper-musician/artists and what not she knew from a very early age what she wanted her destiny to be and then she created it – was even on Broadway as little Orphan Annie.

And Matthew. Oh dear. She just wins on all levels. I don’t think anyone can watch Ferris Bueller without him securing a place in our adolescent hearts 4-EVER. lol

I never really got the “bra with the backless dress” thing though. But still she looked great! I was always jealous of the white skirt in the opening — but man oh man there was major boob action on that tank. I’d wear a bra or layer.

Nope. First of all, there wasn’t any sort of criticism in the original comment. There was an observation, and an opinion. Secondly, SJP’s breasts are not your breasts. Why get yourself worked up? It’s sad that you find persecution and criticism in normal everyday banter. It’s also sad that you feel personally insulted when the conversation is not even about you. Let it go. Let it all go.

Aw! I’d continue my socratic method of answering your “questions,” but I literally emailed Greta, about nine minutes ago, offering my expression of disgust for this ugliness that appears to this very pretty post!

Hell, here’s what I wrote… “I very much dislike the ugly comments that have posted to your Carrie Bradshaw article!
I’d say sorry, but I’m not… I was replying to that which approached me.
But, I am terribly disgusted that such ugliness appears at a pretty article, and I would not condemn you whatsoever if you deleted that segment!
Bitches!”

Really, girls (boys – WTF?)?
I just woke up!
Need my coffee as my brain hurt from all this!
Missy’s comment is perfect as well as SJP breasts. They’ve always been, though she had them done somewhere between the seasons. As a boobless person I’d kill for those! The end.
Crawling to have my coffee.
Good night America!

Yes *shrug*
You write about what you prefer and don’t prefer all the time. You like Victoria Beckham’s body…or so and so’s body is beautiful but not your personal choice for you. That’s fine with me.

It’s also fine with me that you call me malnourished – probably based on my appearance. It’s fine! Don’t care.

I don’t wanna play your reindeer games. I know you like this kind of back-and-forth but it’s not my thing. I mean..how can I be down girl? I don’t expect any Kumbay-fluffing-ya-ing from you or anything – that wouldn’t be you. That would be freaking weird actually. LOL. *soconfusedbutwhocares

It’s not – I have no problem with it. I’m not offended. I don’t recall writing anything on GOMI that you would find offensive but yes let’s rest the case.
I think you just got so feisty and up-in-arms because it’s SJP we’re talking about and you’re all like “Don’t fuck with SJP….I’ll cut a bitch” <<—curse words. I know you like them. lol.

I get the same way about peanut butter and jelly. Ain't nobody gonna smack about PBJ when I'm around.

However, my comment is for Missy, who had dug out some amazing stuff as Carries famous tutu and Kathy Griffin – I love her too! I had a chance to meet her IRL and gosh – she is so amazing (too much make up, though) Still during our 3 hour dinner she made fun of Lithuania(ns) in ALL possible ways. I truly envy that kind of humor.

On your boob cover remark: Pat Field said that she has bought that outfit for $5! And had to duplicate it because we knew in the sequence it was going to get wet. She does not wear anything underneath because it would look overwrought and silly while being watered.

And I’m nodding at your original comment on the whole: she won on all levels.

Nicole, it’s cute really. I’m playing around. I have this mental image of that adorable picture you posted of you, little, sleeping standing up face planted on the bed. Like “Will. Not. Sleep. I’ll. Show. Them. Must. Have. Last. Word.”

Any – I have no idea what the heck I ever did to you or why you have such a problem with me — but I’ve got 99 problems and you ain’t one. Girl? My tree don’t need your bark! I’m not one of your beloved “haters” — for goodness sakes… put the worms down. Not everyone hates you.

DKS, are you trying to take my gold medal in obnoxious away from me?? That contest is over! Wait til the next Annoying Olympics! I am the best at obnoxious! I am the best at annoying! No one, not even you, can be better than I!
Signed,
The best most perfect person in the world! The best at everything! Yayyyyyy!

Greta you said; “I’d like to know what you think of Mrs. Sarah Jessica Parker (style? acting?). ”

(I should mention that I have never watched Sex and the City, I started to watch the S&C 2nd movie and found it to be very boring (boring story and boring acting), just not interesting to me. So my comment is based on the photos you have put in this post)

I can see how SJP’s clothing choices suit her and express her….sense of boldness and playfulness and her desire to challenge and inspire to be individual.

Her style is not aesthetically pleasing for me personally. I would not choose most of her attire for myself. A few of her choices don’t make any sense to me and seem only chosen to provoke rather than really be about her aesthetics…..but I could be totally misinterpreting of course. I’m thinking a few of the belts….like what? that is not a complimenting match for the rest of the out fit. Or…the red top with the hot pink pants….bad color combo for my taste.

I prefer your Aurora or Catherine Deneuve.

Since I’ve been exposed to your passion for fashion I have affected in a most intriguing way…..I have been reviewing my wardrobe and my attitudes about clothing. How my self esteem is wrapped up in my clothing choices. and the effects of my eating disorder on my finances and hence my inability to afford clothes that are beautiful to me. I am rediscovering my aesthetics for clothing that I’d forgotten about.

If money was not an obstical I would design my own clothes and hire an expert seamstress to create them. I would enjoy clothes that were simple in line but elegant. I would like fitted but very flexible around the torso then flowing out from there. I would like delicate feminine details up close, almost hidden and simple lines from a distance. I would have a set of beautifully taylored work clothes and a whole different set of whimsical flowing dance clothes.

NOOOOO! Gel, NO! You’ve watched only the second movie, being a fan of the whole legend I try not to say it, but I must – it was the worst! Worse than anything (except the clothes). The series or and the first film are way better. The best! (Remember I’m a fan)

And yes, clothes can make us feel in certain ways. Back in my bulimia times I had tried this approach of dressing really nicely so I’d feel uncomfortable binging in beautiful clothes – it worked. Just a bit. Because as we all know – when the urge overhauls you – it can’t be stopped.

Also, money is the issue for me too. I crave beautiful things. And travel. And more. Which is all withhold by money issues. However the best things in life are for free (remember?) So those are the principal factors that outshine any expensive objects in life.

OK, full confession, I have never watched an episode of S&C or watched either one of the movies. But I love that you have someone you adore. Mine are generally Sci-Fi chickes with ray guns….I am honestly not sure where that came from for me. I am not a fashion person either, but I do admire her guts on some of her outfits. Cheers.

You’d befriend with my bf, Liz! He’s the Sci-Fi guy! And he gets crazy when he hears yet another into sound track of S&tC!
When People say they don’t like the series, it always makes me crouch of how shallow I must be and how intelligent they are.
But it’s just my thing 😉

The show came on a channel that I didn’t have, so I didn’t really get the chance to get into the show. And now it is on channels that censor it, so I don’t see the point. So I don’t know if I would like it or not. 🙂

I doubt anyone would call you shallow based on your TV choices any more than they might judge my (or your bf’s) intelligence as higher because we watch Sci-Fi. Television is just television. It is nothing more or less than entertainment. We all watch TV based on what can entertain us and get us out of our own head space and into the world of someone else’s life. Especially people like you and I, we need something to take us out of our own world’s because our own brains can be a scary place at times. Cheers.

I have always loved and will continue to adore the way SJP dresses, as Carrie, an actress, a woman or a mother! The best part is that most of her outfits are also totally wearable (or at least I feel that way) too 🙂

Greta, thank you , I love your posts, love the variety 🙂
SJP is definitely able to carry off any look she desires, incredibly well!
My favourite looks from those you featured are Photo No. 3,14,17,18. Adore those four!
And, I honestly think that you, Greta, are prettier…not sucking up,lol, just saying it as I see it – you are naturally so pretty.
Hugs, Jen xxoo

I (usually) love SJP’s style when she dresses herself. I really dislike the stylist’s work on Sex & the City, though!
As for acting, I think she is always likeable and fun to watch! I definitely agree with jennifer5hope – you are much prettier, SJP has an unfortunate face for sure! But I tell you, I would take the face to have a body like that! 🙂

You are the most adorable down on earth person, Kath. I think only a few of women would dear to dress like Carrie in the last pictures I placed here. Though those make me aw every time I see them – princess like, fey like, dream like – I’m a dreamer, you know. 😉

However, I have a confession to make: I’ve never watched a single episode of “Sex and the City.” Also, I saw the second movie and didn’t like it. I’ve never been a fan of SJP; she seems too thin, too harsh, too old-looking. She just doesn’t do it for me. I prefer the aesthetics of someone like Nigella Lawson or a young Sophia Loren or Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe. Actually, Monica Bellucci is the epitome of gorgeous to me. And Lauren Bacall, Veronica Lake, Ava Gardner…mysterious, untouchable.

I felt the second SATC movie was demeaning to women, with the emphasis only on how to be sexy for men and Samantha’s desperate and pathetic attempts to gain a man. Undignified.

NOOOOO! Angela! I’ve said it to Gel in my reply to her comment above! If one’s judging the whole cult of S&tC by the second movie – he’d be wrong in all the aspects of what to like about it – as the second movie was blahhh.
But I don’t blame you. Some of my truly fashionable friends find the series and SJP not appealing at all. We all have our preferences. 😉

I’m very thankful for your honesty. And your fashion idols are superb!

Hihihi! Life is – fashion – is life, Angela!
Thank you for coming back.
As for your questions I don’t think it would be interesting to talk about books, as reading and analyzing them is (was) my job. So if mostly serious classics are revised for my occupation, I prefer some popular literature for fun.
Marie Claire I believe is better for reading, I started buying fashion magazines just for illustrations lately. So Elle Italy satisfies my cravings completely (I don’t understand a word in Italian) 😀

Wow! You read and analyze books? I would love to do something like that. I just finished my master’s in English Composition and Communication, and I would love to talk to you about your job sometime. I enjoy both classics and popular literature.

I enjoy the pictures in the fashion magazines, too, but it is nice to read some of the articles.

I just taught English literature to seniors in high school. Nothing major. And I’m jobless for the next year as despite the coolest teacher (hihihi) students are not willing to learn literature any more.

I’m Greta. I live in a small country in Europe. I am recovering from an eating disorder. But this blog is not only about that. It’s a cozy corner of my little life, full of passions for fashion, food, books and movies. Oh, and coffee... Coffee is the best thing to douse the sunrise with.
